SF Patch #1586467 from Benjamin Moody - floppusmaximus
"Currently if a plugin creates a multi-line, non-HTML
string preference, i.e. a GaimPluginPref with type
GAIM_PLUGIN_PREF_STRING_FORMAT and format-type
GAIM_STRING_FORMAT_TYPE_MULTILINE, the resulting widget
is extremely narrow and impossible to use.
This is because the widget is packed into an hbox
without allowing expansion (expand = fill = FALSE.) If
HTML is enabled, the presence of the format bar forces
the widget to be wide enough to be usable. Disabling
HTML causes the format bar to be removed, so the widget
is set to the minimum allowed size."

12527 | 47 2.0.0beta1 (12/17/2005): |
12541 | 48 Sean: I think Nathan sums everything up really well below. There's still |
49 a bunch we want to add (and remove) before the official release, but we | |
50 really want to start getting feedback about what's good and what's not. | |
51 So, please, be vocal about this beta! | |
12519 | 52 |
12541 | 53 Nathan: 15 months since we branched oldstatus, and started working on |
54 the behemoth that is 2.0.0. In that time, we've added a couple new | |
55 protocols, we had a few crazy patch writers become developers, and | |
56 had a few more people step up to be crazy patch writers. Sean wrote | |
57 a book, and we arbitrarily decided to make a version 1.0.0, and a | |
58 new versioning scheme. We got new artwork, and added almost 200 lines | |
59 to the ChangeLog. We've watched 2 major GTK+ releases, and added all | |
60 kinds of features using them. OK, I've wasted enough bits here. This | |
61 beta rocks, but it is a beta. Treat it as such, and enjoy! | |

66 loader for even more plugin fun. | |

12509 | 69 |
12541 | 70 Tim: Well here it is, the first beta. There's a lot of cool things in |
71 here, but not all of them are finished or debugged. But then that's | |
72 why it's called a beta. Conversations are now contact-aware, and | |
73 there's a new status selector. There's smooth scrolling on incoming | |
74 messages as well. Our Crazy Patch Writers have been doing a good | |
75 job too, it seems like we're never lacking some patches in the | |
76 tracker to review. | |
12514 | 77 |
12541 | 78 Etan: I know I'm not going to be able to think of all the things I should |
79 talk about here so I'll just go with the stuff I remember. Adding buddies | |
80 on ejabberd jabber servers should work more correctly now (it's possible | |
81 adding buddies on other servers is a bit broken currently I'm still | |
82 looking into it). There are still other jabber issues I'm looking into | |
83 with handling of buddies. | |
84 In other topics, I finally brought my Accounts menu into gaim, though the | |
85 current example of it isn't exactly what I had in mind, anyone with any | |
86 suggestions/comments/etc about it please speak up. | |
87 Other than the stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention this beta should | |
88 be awesome as gaim 2.0.0 is going to be awesome. Have fun with it. | |
12514 | 89 |
12541 | 90 Luke: pretty much everything important has been said, so this is going to |
91 be rather repetative. This is a beta folks, so it will have bugs. It | |
92 will crash unexpectedly. Perhaps even frequently. Use it at your peril. | |
93 But do use it (though you might want to back up ~/.gaim first), and let us | |
94 know what needs to be fixed. | |

12541 | 216 Luke: Another Bug fix release. This one featuring a fix to the HTTP |
217 Method for MSN users and other MSN fixes. A big thanks to Stu and | |
218 Felipe Contreras for those. Stu also spent a long time in valgrind | |
219 and so this brings you a Gaim release with fewer memory leaks. This | |
220 release is on time primarily because I want to see the MSN fixes | |
221 make it into Debian and Fedora before freezes. Expect further bug | |
222 fix only releases to come at longer intervals, at Mark's request. | |

12541 | 233 Tim: Another bug fix release. I didn't really fix any bugs, so |
234 I didn't exactly do much for this one. The autopackage will now | |
235 work with mozilla-nss, if anyone has that, and not gnutls11. (It | |
236 works with either gnutls11 or mozilla-nss, but not gnutls10) | |
237 I started working on Gaim-vv again though, and I merged someone's | |
238 custom msn smiley patch into the 2.0.0 tree, so expect good things | |
239 whenever that's released (no, don't try it now, you won't like it). | |

245 didn't do all that much, other than let valgrind tell me what to fix, and | |
246 a couple of easy bug fixes from the bug tracker. Hopefully Ethan will get | |

268 good to see fixes from Gary coming in again too ;-). I like the | |

274 for this release, if the autopackage guys release their new version | |
275 soon like they're talking. I also "fixed" a scrolling bug, by | |
276 realizing it was all Gentoo's fault. The IRC encoding thing Ethan | |
277 did is pretty nice, no more encoding error messages! | |

10128 | 304 1.0.2 (10/19/2004): |
305 Stu: I'm new around here. I tried to reduce the number of bugs in the bug | |
306 tracker, but it turns out that the only way to achieve that is to actually | |
307 _fix_ the bugs. So I fixed a couple, and then sneaked some patches out of | |
308 the patch tracker to fix some others. Sadly the bug tracker was not | |
309 significantly affected, maybe if I learn C I'll be able to make more of an | |
310 impact. | |
311 | |
312 Luke: Don't let Stu fool you, he has done a marvelous job on this release, | |
313 and deserves a lot of credit for it. And a number of those bug fixes are | |
314 critical ones that he discovered and fixed himself. So go update. Now. | |

317 do we keep him around again? | |

10089 | 326 1.0.1 (10/07/2004): |
327 Congratulations to Tim & Kim on their wedding! | |
328 | |
329 Sean: So, if you're playing along at home, you're aware that | |
330 incrementing the micro version number means that the API has | |
331 not changed at all. Although that itself is insignificant to | |
332 most everyone but plugin developers, but users won't find too | |
333 many significant changes. Consult ChangeLog. We're currently | |
334 branched for some major changes, so expect a really great 2.0.0 | |
335 sometime relatively soon. | |
336 | |
337 Luke: Nothing much to see here, some bug fixes. Most of the work | |
338 is going towards the 2.0.0 release. We aren't quite sure when | |
339 that will be, and will keep the bug fix releases coming untill | |
340 all is ready. | |
341 | |
342 Christian: I would call this a ground-breaking release, but it isn't. | |
343 It seems like a good one, though. I dunno. I've been too busy at VMware, | |
344 unfortunately, but have some work that's just waiting to be finished up | |
345 for Gaim. Gaim 2.0.0 is going to rock. Gaim 3.0.0 will rock more. | |
346 Do you see a pattern? Thanks go out to Henry Jen for fixing up parts of | |
347 the gevolution plugin to support multiple addressbooks, and to all our | |
348 moms, for believing in us. Or something. | |
349 | |
350 Nathan: I got a new computer. It's fast. And has twice the bits! | |
351 | |
10034 | 352 1.0.0 (09/17/2004): |
353 Nathan: Hah! Bet you weren't expecting this! OK, if you were | |
354 paying any attention to the flame^H^H^H^H^Hthread on gaim-devel, | |
355 you might have been expecting this. But here it is, 1.0.0. Our | |
356 new versioning scheme has slightly more meaning than the older | |
357 one (expecially for plugin authors), but our 1.0(.0) release is | |
358 just as meaningless as we could have hoped. Enjoy! | |
359 | |
360 Luke: We've changed our pattern for version numbers with this | |
361 release, we are no longer simply counting versions. This release | |
362 then marks, not something traditionally "1.0" but the current | |
363 version of the api. When backwards compatability with that breaks | |
364 you'll see 2.0, more details in the faq. As a side note, if you | |
365 are reading this and are good with proxy code or with perl's XS C | |
366 bindings, please get in touch with me, my contact info is on the | |
367 website. Gaim could use your help. | |

8540 | 373 |
9871 | 374 Mark: Lately I've been doing a lot more code maintenance/patch |
375 accepting/bug fixing type of work. And I think that's a really | |
376 good thing. I feel like Gaim is becoming more stable. It | |
9878 | 377 seems like we're lacking fewer features. It makes me warm. |
9871 | 378 Quick Robin! To the traverse wall! |
379 | |
9872 | 380 Nathan: Well, it looks like we stuck to the schedule again. Had |
381 we taken our dear sweet time, I might have had a chance to do | |
382 something cool for this release, but instead I stuck to the minor | |
383 stuff. <insert empty promises for the cool stuff i'll code for | |
384 next time here> | |
385 | |
9873 | 386 Tim: Lately I've been doing a lot more patch accepting, and a |
387 lot less actual coding. Unfortunately it has more to do with my | |
388 laziness than Gaim's progress. Like Nathan, I'm going to blame | |
389 our on time release schedule. But that didn't stop our Crazy | |
390 Patch Writers, or cpw's as grim now calls them, from writing | |
391 some good patches. So, instead of promising to code something | |
392 cool for next release, I'm going to promise that the cpw's will | |
393 code cool things for next release, and I might apply some of them. | |
394 | |
9877 | 395 Luke: I've been doing what I always do, committing patches, some |
396 better than others, and bugging other people to code stuff. Oh | |
397 and closing some bugs. Thanks to Dave West for joining the cpws | |
398 in helping to handle triage. This is mostly a bug fix release, | |
399 so PLEASE upgrade to it before submitting new bugs. | |
400 | |
9880 | 401 Kevin: Herman's been away, so Daniel Atallah and myself were given |
402 the task of preparing 0.82's Windows packages. After some feverish | |
403 plotting, we decided to update GTK and Daniel prepped an update to | |
404 libpng to address recent security advisories. Besides plotting and | |
405 a little bit of testing, this NEWS is all I really did. Oh, I also | |
406 rerefixed the transparency plugin... again! Our beloved Hermanator | |
407 should be back next time around, for 0.83. | |
408 | |
9688 | 409 0.81 (08/05/2004): |
410 Sean: Three weeks again! Sticking to schedules is awesome! Just | |
411 like Gaim v0.81. This is what we in the industry call a "bugfix | |
412 release." We closed over TWO HUNDRED bugs since 0.80. That's | |
413 awesome. Thanks to everyone who helped report, triage, fix, and | |
414 test. | |

437 Sean: Three weeks! Hooray for timeliness! I didn't do much here | |
438 but drag-and-droppable file transfers. Drag something into a | |
439 conversation window, and it will be sent. Kinda neat. | |
440 | |
9540 | 441 Mark: We have a small ant problem here. I can't help but think |
9541 | 442 I somehow brought this upon myself. |

9542 | 444 Tim: I don't really have any news, but at least I don't have an |
445 ant problem either. You might think I've been hard at work on | |
446 Gaim-vv, but I haven't, I've just been lazy. I plan on doing | |
447 some cool things "soon" though, both with Gaim and Gaim-vv. | |
448 Bleeter sent me some nice dumps I need to implement yet. | |
449 | |
9543 | 450 Luke: We have a nice timely release, with a Changelog that seems |
451 small, but remember, this is summer, and people have lives. SILC | |
452 and Zephyr are making good progress from our Crazy Patch Writters, | |
453 and everyone begging to send files to people not on their buddy | |
454 list will be happy. good stuff. No, the msn buddy icon scalling | |
455 problem isn't fixed yet, maybe next release | |
456 | |
9382 | 457 0.79 (06/24/2004): |
458 Sean: We've moved to a three-week release cycle which we'll | |
459 hopefully be able to keep up more realistically than a two-week | |
460 cycle. Yahoo! went and broke last night, but it's fixed now thanks | |
461 to a quick fix sent in by Cerulean Studios this morning. Reports say | |
462 they'll continue to try to break us, though, so don't be surprised | |
463 if your Yahoo cuts out again. | |
9543 | 464 |
9384 | 465 Luke: I was really distracted this cycle, I want to thank my co- |
9387 | 466 developers and our crazy patch writers for keeping things going. |
9384 | 467 We have a fairly long changelog for you this release, including some |
468 nice bug fixes and some much-requested new features, the ChangeLog | |
469 has all the details there of course. Enjoy! | |

9385 | 475 Tim: This release brings us /commands in the core, which hopefully |
476 works better, and Yahoo! buddy icons. Thanks to all the people I | |
477 bugged for packet captures, like Simguy, Bleeter, and odl. Yahoo! | |
478 broke again, so I did a little last minute work on the web | |
479 messenger stuff, but then Cerulean Studios was cool and fixed the | |
480 problem already, so all that code's disabled. I also finally added | |
481 the Yahoo! Japan support, for those of you with Yahoo! Japan | |
482 accounts. | |
9386 | 483 |
484 Mark: I fixed that icon animation thing that caused Gaim to lock-up. | |
485 I also stepped on something at the beach and I think there might be | |
486 a little rock or something in my foot now. | |
487 | |
9390 | 488 Nathan: I've been really busy, what with having a new job and all. |
489 I didn't think I had done anything, but apparently I fixed some | |
490 Jabber stuff, and some IPv6 stuff. I must have been sleepcoding | |
491 or something, because I haven't had time for such things. Ah well, | |
492 enjoy this release. We'll see what I can get to in the next 3 weeks. | |
493 | |
9124 | 494 0.78 (05/30/2004): |
9102 | 495 Luke: A very long time, once again, since the last release. I think |
496 its mostly worth it. A few of you will still have trouble with msn | |
497 but we've worked out a number of bugs even there. Thanks to heroic | |
498 efforts on the part of Mark, we closed 400 some odd reports this | |
499 month. We are also welcoming Tim to the project, a very active | |
500 crazy patch writer who has brought massive improvements to WYSIWYG | |
501 and direct im this release. Again, it still won't work for every | |
502 one, but it will work for more people than it used to. Most | |
503 noticably, this release brings a LARGE simplicfication of the | |
504 preferences available. Please don't complain if your favorite | |
505 preference is no longer there. Take some time to think about | |
506 how and if it could be useful to a majority of people who use | |
507 Gaim in ways nothing like you. You'll find that the answer will | |
508 usually be that the preference isn't all that important. | |
509 | |
9103 | 510 Tim: I continued with the other crazy patch writers in fixing those |
511 WYSIWYG bugs. Then they went and made me a developer. Which is cool. | |
512 They told me I could commit WYSIWYG and Yahoo! changes. So I went | |
513 and fixed IM Image and Direct Connect in AIM for some reason. I also | |
9106 | 514 added some new Yahoo! smileys at least. Also you change your link |
515 color in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file now. I might work on some of those | |
516 new Yahoo! features for next release, like buddy icons. But don't | |
517 count on it. Thanks to everyone who congratulated me. And thanks | |
518 to all our Crazy Patch Writers, who now expect me to apply all their | |
519 Crazy Patches. | |

9106 | 531 Gary: Congrats to Tim, no more competing for most ChangeLog entries. |
532 This means you _should_ be winning every release. Anyways, I didn't | |
533 finish nearly as much as I wanted to for this release but all of that | |
534 and then some should appear in 0.79. | |
535 | |
9108 | 536 Sean: I'll write my entry down here tonight. Removing preferences |
9395 | 537 was my big crusade this week, and the team did a great job at it, |
538 but I still have a nagging feeling that our preferences are still | |
539 overwhelming. Everyone's been doing a real great job; it's entirely | |
540 my fault we keep failing to meet our three-week schedule. Send your | |
541 complaints this way. | |
9108 | 542 |
9114 | 543 Nathan: I really didn't do much thanks to exams, and graduation, and all |
544 of that fun stuff. For next release, I'll have all new excuses, like my | |
545 new job, or maybe something I haven't even thought of yet. Oh yeah, and | |
546 a big warm welcome to Tim! | |
547 | |
8762 | 548 0.77 (04/22/2004): |
549 Sean: We're back to a somewhat regular release cycle now. Hooray! | |
9395 | 550 WYSIWYG is much improved in this release, and you can now copy and |
551 paste rich text to and from Gaim and other applications (see: Mozilla, | |
552 Evolution OpenOffice). Also, Novell has released their first release | |
553 of their GroupWise plugin, included in this release. Good stuff all | |
554 around. | |
8762 | 555 |
8763 | 556 Luke: Only a week "late" this time around, much nicer than the delay |
557 before the last release. Anyway, this release sees a HUGE number of | |
558 improvements to the WYSIWYG support, much thanks to all involved. If | |
559 you weren't impressed before, you should be now! This release also | |
560 sees the end of our TOC support, no one has been working on this in | |
561 some time and its causing problems. DON'T USE IT!. Also plugin | |
562 authors will want to take note of the fact that the plugin api version | |
563 changed. A nice solid release for you all :-) | |
564 | |
8764 | 565 Ethan: Once again I thought about doing some things and committed |
566 things that other people did. This development model is awesome. I | |
567 helped Mark refactor some stuff and our collective code ownership | |
568 helped us utilize a coherent system metaphor during our pair program- | |
569 ming sessions. It was extremely extreme. Look for some hard crypto | |
570 lovin' from yet another crazy contributor in the near future... | |
571 | |
8765 | 572 Ka-Hing: I actually did something for this release... or rather, the |
573 previous release, but LSchiere2 didn't commit that until this release. | |
574 So blame him. System logging is back, so you can log people's signon/ | |
575 off/away/idle-ness again. There may be bugs with it, I don't know, not | |
576 like I use it. I will try to work on something that I will actually use | |
577 for the next release. | |
578 | |
579 Etan: Looking for someone to pair program with. | |

8540 | 589 0.76 (04/01/2004): |
8548 | 590 Sean: Yeah, it's been a long time since the last release, and despite |
591 what others may tell you, we were just really lazy. This is pretty | |
592 much just 0.75 again, but, like, someone changed the "Info" icon and | |
593 I think, like, the Chinese translation may have been updated. We did | |
594 nothing interesting on it at all. Others may tell you "we haven't just | |
595 been lazy," or "you guys will find that we've managed to do some neat | |
596 stuf in this one." They lie. All of them. | |
9102 | 597 |
8540 | 598 Luke: Okay, normally I wait for Sean to go first, but he said to commit. |
599 Its been a few months since the last release, but we haven't just been | |
600 lazy. A very long ChangeLog for you all. Most notably of course is the | |
601 addition of WYSIWYG input for chats and conversations. Many thanks to | |
602 DAYS of long work by Sean, Gary Kramlich, Kevin Stange, Tim Ringenbach, | |
9395 | 603 and Stu Tomlinson for their efforts writting, fixing, and testing |
604 this. Without the dedicated support of our crazy patch writters, this | |
605 release would have taken yet longer. Sean also has yahoo working again, | |
606 with some assistance from our friends over at Trillian, you may all | |
607 officially rejoice. We also have a large number of bug fixes, closing | |
608 more than 200 bug reports this month alone. | |

8542 | 617 Mark: Our crazy patch writers rock. Gary Kramlich, Tim Ringenbach, |

622 grand!! | |
8542 | 623 |
8547 | 624 Tim: Luke said write a NEWS, so I thought I would. There's a room |
625 list dialog now. And Nathan and I doubled the number of protocols that | |
626 can transfer files. After that I got lazy/busy and let Gary, Kevin, | |
627 and Stu fix all the bugs. | |
628 | |
8551 | 629 Nathan: Rob happens to share a birthday with my sister. So far she's |
630 been very vague about what she wants. She's not an easy person to shop | |
631 for. As for things you probably care more about, this release has so | |
632 much in it that I've forgotten about most of it. The stupidest of the | |
633 bugs from 0.75 are fixed. Jabber has a first pass at file transfer | |
634 support (no proxy support yet). SOCKS 5 proxy support may have gotten | |
635 a little better as a side-effect. Twinkies and penguin points to all | |
636 of the crazy patch writers, who did more than their fair share this | |
637 release. | |
638 | |
8553 | 639 Ethan: My birthday was yesterday, and not on the same day as Rob |
640 and Nathan's sister. And I don't mean that Rob and Nathan have the | |
641 same sister. For this release, I thought about making IRC better, I | |
642 thought about making Tcl better, and I committed patches from several | |
643 others who actually did these things. And probably some other | |
644 things, too. Let's hear it for crazy patch writers, and for the open | |
645 source philosophy that lets them get so CRAZY. | |
646 | |
8047 | 647 0.75 (01/09/2004): |
648 Rob: Woah, what's this? Me? Making a NEWS post!? Say it ain't so! | |
649 That's right, kiddos, I'm finally coming out of my reclusiveness. | |
650 I had a pretty shitty few months, and also just needed a break from | |
651 things. But, I'm back, and that's good. Right? Yes. And now, | |
652 a little word from Eric Warmenhoven.. :P | |
653 | |
8049 | 654 Eric: Ah, Rob and Eric. Just like the good ol' days. Now, if |
655 you'll excuse me, I have to go make some commits with Led Zeppelin | |
656 lyrics as my commit logs. heh. What do you mean, I look a lot | |
657 like Sean Egan? I'm... oh fine, you got me. It's really just Sean | |
658 in an Eric Warmenhoven costume. | |
659 | |
660 So, Yahoo! works again, and that's good. And 0.76 is going to have | |
661 something _very_ neat. | |
662 | |
8050 | 663 Nathan: You're running out of excuses to not use Jabber. Our chat |
664 support is now bar-some, quickly approaching bar-none! Everything | |
665 else in Jabber got neat improvements too. I'll leave it up to you | |
666 to figure out what they were. | |

681 transfer support should thank Tim 'marv' Ringenbach for Yahoo ft, | |

724 Sean: Christian and Nathan were wrong. | |
725 | |
726 Ethan: I don't know how solid or good this release will be, but | |
727 hopefully it's better than 0.73! Not that 0.73 didn't rock or | |
728 anything, but for those users bit by its peculiar little bugs | |
729 it wasn't as nice as this will be. | |
730 | |
731 Nathan: Jabber got some good tweaks, and logging doesn't eat | |
732 memory until the cows come home. Which is good, because they | |
733 said they'll be out until late. | |
734 | |
735 Luke: Always nice when directories get created correctly ;-) | |
736 | |
7593 | 737 0.73 (11/21/2003): |
738 Nathan: This should be a really solid release. I fixed most if not | |
739 all of the idiotic Jabber bugs from 0.72, and re-enabled the SASL | |
740 login stuff, now that it is finalized in the XMPP drafts. Oh, and | |
741 we now have a release notification plugin, so you can find out when | |
742 the latest and greatest version of Gaim is out without breaking that | |
743 reload button in your browser. There's other fun new stuff, but I | |
744 forget what it is. | |

779 you paranoid people can hide your local username by changing | |
780 your IRC account settings. I also want to note that we are | |
781 aware that building Gaim is Harder than it Should Be on | |

804 as a lot of code (specifically, the conversations code and utility | |
805 functions) changed names. This is a Good Thing (TM), as always, but may | |
806 require modifications to some plugins. Not all, fortunately, but some | |
807 :) Many SSL problems were fixed, though we still have some to go. If | |
808 you don't have SSL, you now need it for MSN. MSN won't even load without | |

823 I re-wrote the Jabber support from scratch, so now there's at least one | |
824 person who knows what's going on with it. I got lost in the old code, | |
825 even in the parts I wrote. It now supports the SASL login stuff from | |
826 the XMPP protocol specs, and will automagically upgrade the conncetion | |
827 to SSL if it's supported. If anything doesn't work like it did before, | |
828 it's probably better, and you should be thankful for it. | |
829 | |
7225 | 830 Ethan: I'm sure I'll be showered with all kinds of wonderful things, |
831 but I doubt it's because I did anything. The reason being that I | |
832 really don't think I did anything. I meant to do some gaim_ | |
833 prepension and documentation for IRC and Tcl, and handle IRC errors | |
834 more responsibly, but I've been meaning to do that for months. | |
7226 | 835 Except the Tcl part, the Tcl plugin hasn't even existed for months. |
7225 | 836 I figure if I write enough NEWS no one will notice I didn't do |
837 anything during the release cycle. Oh, I did close some bugs. I | |
838 didn't fix them, mind you, I just closed them. With abandon. | |

6134 | 977 Sean: Although I tend to go right here in the two slot in NEWS, |
978 we don't always commit in this order. This is the third time I've | |
979 rewritten this because the jerks below me keep commiting while I'm | |
980 writing causing mass conflictination. Grrr. Stupid jerks. Anyway, | |
981 this is Gaim 0.65. Like other Gaim releases, this allows you to | |
982 converse with people far away over the "Internet." That's about it. | |
983 It's really not that interesting. In fact, I wouldn't even bother | |
984 reading the other people's NEWS. It's all boring. There's some | |
985 crap about forest fires and fangs and claws. It's really boring. | |
986 Great, now Luke just committed NEWS causing more conflictination. | |
987 I wouldn't bother reading his either. Oh, and I don't want to thank | |
988 Megan (Cae) or Kevin (SimGuy). They're stupid jerks too. Grrr... | |
989 | |
6129 | 990 Mark: I actually did stuff for this release. Go me. I probably |
991 shouldn't speak for all of us, but I'm going to anyway: We feel that | |
992 this release is one of Gaim's best. It should be relatively bug | |
6135 | 993 free, and the code is cleaner than ever, thanks to lots of work by |
6129 | 994 Christian and Nathan. We had some help from a few civilians |
995 finding and fixing bugs. Thanks to Megan (Cae), Ka-Hing Cheung | |
6130 | 996 (javabsp), and Kevin Stange (SimGuy) for their work. Man, I was just |
6129 | 997 looking at Sean's NEWS entry for 0.64--that's talent. Also, stay |
998 in school. Just say no. Only you can prevent forest fires. | |

6133 | 1022 Luke: Wow! Finally releasing 0.65! Christian, Nathan, and Mark have |
1023 worked really hard for this release, all the credit goes to them. | |
1024 The new preferences are awesome, and there are more bugs fixed for | |
1025 this release than in the last 3 or 4 releases. Your MSN should work | |
1026 reliably again, your preferences saved, your accounts resort, the | |
1027 list goes on and on. A couple preferences, most notably your buddy | |
1028 list sorting preference won't be imported, but almost all of them | |
1029 will be and its probly a good idea for you to take a second look | |
1030 through preferences again anyway, alot of you are starting to | |
1031 forget that things are optional again. :-) | |
1032 | |
6137 | 1033 Nathan: I think I did something for this release a while ago. I've |
1034 got a mailbox full of commit emails, and some have my name on them, | |
1035 so I must have done something, right? Probably some minor jabber stuff, | |
1036 and lots of crazy bugfixes. It was a team effort, I'd like to thank the | |

5555 | 1054 Sean: Unlike every other time we say, "the next release will be loaded |
1055 with cool new features, this time, we really mean it. In fact, they're | |
1056 already in CVS (don't use CVS). The only obvious new feature for 0.64 | |
1057 is buddy list sorting. This has been much requested and can be set in | |
1058 the buddy list preferences. You can sort by name, by status, and even | |
1059 by log file size--putting people you talk to most at the top. Plugins | |
1060 can even easily add their own sorting methods. It's all very cool. I | |
5559 | 1061 want to thank Luke and Ka-Hing for their initial work on it. And yes, |
5555 | 1062 I did make my entire NEWS entry justified on purpose. |

5410 | 1118 Nathan: It seems like 0.62 was forever and a day ago. I had to look |
1119 at the ChangeLog to remember what I did. Apparently I made it so you | |
1120 can put chats in your buddy list. And then I tweaked a bunch of stuff | |
1121 and fixed a bunch of crashes. Then exams came, and then I went home | |
1122 for a week and left my laptop's power cable here at school, so I didn't | |
1123 get anything done. Jabber will get all sorts of fun new stuff for | |
1124 the next release. Really. ;-) | |

5403 | 1126 0.62 (04/23/2003): |
5193 | 1127 Sean: This is just another standard bi-weekly Gaim release. Nothing |
1128 really interesting, but it has some good bugfixes. Personally, I've | |
1129 been a bit removed from Gaim development lately what with school getting | |
1130 tough and stuff, but the rest of the guys have really been doing great | |
1131 work without me. Thanks, guys. | |

1135 though, because I have some really cool stuff going into 0.63. Plugin | |

1137 actually a Good Thing (TM). Anyhow, upgrade to this release, and tell | |

9395 | 1140 Luke: I didn't do much here besides the odd translation patch and a |
1141 couple bug fix patches. This is primarily a bug fix release, and much | |
1142 needed at that. Didn't get a chance to write sorting code, work has been | |
1143 busy. Hopeefully it will happen for 0.63. | |
5196 | 1144 |
5197 | 1145 Mark: Gaim is coming along quite beautimously. I'm going to eat |
1146 my Pop-tarts now. | |
1147 | |
9395 | 1148 Nathan: oh dot sixty two. There are a lot of bugs fixed in this |
1149 release, and one major new feature. Our Jabber plugin now supports | |
1150 XHTML-IM. In plain english, this means that you can now format your | |
1151 jabber messages, and other people will see the formatting. GtkIMHTML | |
1152 still needs some work to get it to parse valid XHTML-IM better, but that | |
1153 will come in time. That time would come sooner if my CS prof accepted | |
1154 "I was hacking on Gaim" as a valid excuse for an extension ;-) | |

5059 | 1157 Rob: Nathan commited his news first. However, I'm cooler so I'm putting |
1158 my entry above his. Yeah, so, there were some DnD issues with 0.60. I | |
1159 blame it on the rain. It was falling, falling. I blame it on the | |
1160 faucet. It drips all night. | |
1161 | |
9395 | 1162 Sean: I committed my news after Rob. I'm cooler than Nathan (by far) |
1163 but not as cool as Rob. So I go here. Actually, I didn't do anything | |
1164 since 0.60 other than commit some other peoples patches. The one from | |
1165 Dave Camp is cool. How 'bout this snow? Isn't that crazy? Oh, and | |
1166 thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. | |
5073 | 1167 |
5058 | 1168 Nathan: You want frequent releases? You got 'em ;-) Chip wrote some |
1169 cool new pounce stuff, and things shouldn't get weird when you drag | |
1170 groups and buddies around. It's bad enough having 1 of some of my | |
1171 buddies on my list, I definitely don't need duplicates. Being that I | |

9395 | 1180 Luke: Okay, i'm probly the least cool, so I'll go last. I committed a |
1181 few patches from other people here, nothing earth shattering though. The | |
1182 biggest thing in this release is the group re-ordering bug fix, having | |
1183 that fixed will make for fewwer questions. Get used to using releases | |
1184 people, we want to use cvs for actual development :-). | |

1194 to go out and buy a case of beer. My roommate is downstairs right | |
1195 now pouring me a shot of his choice. Everyone, raise your beers if | |
1196 you've got them. It's been a cool almost 10-months of development. | |
1197 I hope you all enjoy. Drink'em if you got'em! | |

5024 | 1199 Sean: I'm writing this 3 minutes before my 21st birthday. Nobody can |
1200 believe we're finally ready to relase 0.60. Many thanks to everyone | |
1201 who helped out; I'm convinced that Gaim 0.60 is the best IM client to | |
1202 date (only to be bested by 0.61). There's WAY too much stuff to mention. | |
1203 Even the ChangeLog is somewhat incomplete. Yay, I'm 21 now! Everyone | |
1204 enjoy! :) | |
1205 | |
5025 | 1206 Nathan: Happy birthday Sean! Rob decided to let me start cleaning up |
1207 after everyone, so here I am. "sexy" is the only word that can be used | |
1208 to describe 0.60. Prepare to be shocked and amazed. /me raises his | |

1213 everybody just to grab CVS. I'm pretty happy with this release. I was | |
1214 able to contribute quite a bit to it. Makes me feel proud to be a gaim | |
1215 developer! I'm really looking forward to the future releases. I have | |
1216 some neat stuff planned. Yay, I'm still 19! Mmmm, Sierra Mist. Make me a | |

1233 to do it. But now we have. Aside from some Jabber changes and some | |
1234 crucial MSN fixes, most of this release's changes are transparent, | |
1235 but none-the-less important. Well get some better changes when my | |

1243 didn't go out on time. Oh well. I would like to welcome | |
1244 Jim Seymour aboard the development team. He's going to be taking | |
1245 over the work on our Jabber code as well as doing various other | |
1246 nit picking. He likes to pick nits, nats, and umm, knots, I think. | |
3238 | 1247 |
3243 | 1248 Sean: This release has a long ChangeLog. Higlights include an |
1249 important security fix for MSN and a few nice new features. | |
1250 Not *much* cooler than 0.57--but we're making progress ;) | |

1257 what happens when the bottom person goes first.) New translation, | |
1258 a few fixes, secure msn hotmail logins, blah blah blah. As Sean | |
1259 said, the next release will be cooler. If only you could read | |
1260 our minds ;-). | |
1261 | |
3179 | 1262 Sean: Nothing too special here, but a critical Yahoo fix that |
1263 ensures Yahoo! will work when they discontinue the old protocol | |
1264 all the other 3rd party clients are using. Next release will be | |
1265 cooler, I promise. | |

1268 Rob: Well, what do you know. I have another headache. I always have | |
1269 these damned headaches. I got pissed off with the way GtkTree looks. | |
1270 I wanted to move to using GtkCTree. I think they're pretty. | |
1271 Unfortunately, GtkCTree sucks. After a little digging through | |
1272 the code, I managed to molest GtkTree into looking like | |
1273 GtkCTree. Thanks to everyone that helped track down that one | |
1274 annoying style problem. | |
1275 | |
1276 Sean: Hello. This is another minor release while Rob and I finish | |
1277 up on some bigger projects. We're reworking a lot of the UI to make | |
1278 it easier to use, nicer looking, and more compatible with gtk2. | |
1279 I've also been trying to bring the Yahoo plugin up to date, so it | |
1280 will work for Indian users and avoid a potential problem in the near | |

1284 Rob: 0.55 is here. I've been away for a few days on business. Sean | |
1285 has been on Spring Break. Therefore, this release is mostly a patch | |
1286 release. It does fix some bugs and makes a few thing slightly cooler, | |
1287 so it's better in that aspect, I suppose. Enjoy. | |
1288 | |
3110 | 1289 Sean: This is mostly a bugfix release. I'm on Spring Break, not |
1290 doing any coding at all. But lots of people sent in great patches | |
1291 anyway. Thanks guys! | |

1295 release. Better working SSI, Image sending, protocol specific | |
1296 smiley faces, and a whole lot of triscuits. *gobble* | |
1297 | |
3054 | 1298 Sean: We fixed a lot of bugs in this one, and probably introduced |
1299 a bunch too. ;) We were both really busy, and did all the coding | |
1300 late at night when we were tired, so if something isn't working, | |
1301 it's probably just tired code. Enjoy the triscuits! | |

1310 list on the server, it can do typing notifications in Direct | |
1311 Connections, and yes, it can receive IM Images! Sending images will | |

1318 I finally got settled into my new apartment, the new job is going | |
1319 well, and I finally have internet connectivity again. You can expect | |
1320 us to be back on our usually bi-monthly schedule. Enjoy these fixen, | |
1321 as they resolve a few connectivity issues. :-) | |
1322 | |
1323 Sean: It looks like things are back on track now. Eric left which is | |
1324 sad. He's done so much for Gaim, and I know we're all thankful. | |
1325 Thanks Eric! I'll be stepping in and do more development, but I can | |
1326 never replace Eric. This release fixes a long-standing problem in | |
1327 MSN. If you've gotten errors when trying to connect to MSN, you want | |
1328 this release. If you've suddenly found yourself unable to connect to | |
1329 Yahoo!, you want this release too. The "neat goodies" will be in the | |

1337 after over a month, Sorry for the delay, all. Things got really | |
1338 hectic around the gaim house hold. This release isn't as complete | |
1339 as I had hoped, but I promised to get something out. There's some | |
1340 neat goodies in mind for the next release, right Sean? :-) | |

1569 a little 100% CPU eating bug but that's taken care of now. Next | |
1570 on my list of repairs is the napster plugin. It works -- sorta -- | |
1571 sometimes. Heh. As all of you probably know already, our Oscar | |
1572 support was broken yesterday. There's a little battle going on | |
1573 between AOL and Jabber and we caught a bullet during the crossfire. | |

1289 | 1687 0.11.0-pre1 (12/03/2000): |
1199 | 1688 Rob: Hey guys! Guess what!? Yup, you're correct! It's the pre1 |
1689 release of 0.11.0. We have all sorts of goodies in this release! | |
1690 Check out the ChangeLog file. As always if you find any bugs, | |
1691 please report them on www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/ | |
1195 | 1692 |
1693 You may find several small bugs as this is still a prerelease. | |
1192 | 1694 |
1199 | 1695 You may want to note that my IRC plugin does not have full |
1696 functionality as of yet. All of the important / commands will be | |
1697 added before the final release. Also, if someone could send me | |
1698 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much | |
1699 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible! | |
1194 | 1700 |
1195 | 1701 If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions, please let us know |
1199 | 1702 either by e-mail or via the source forge message board at the URL |
1703 above. :) | |

1195 | 1706 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
1707 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
1708 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
1709 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
1710 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
1711 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
1712 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
1713 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
1714 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

219 | 1884 Hey boy's and girls. There's not much to say here this time. |
1885 We're loving Southern California, the new job's going great. We just | |
1886 got our company website up and the product development is going pretty | |
1887 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |
1888 | |
1889 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
1890 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
1891 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |
1892 well. Enjoy!! Oh yeah, we need a new website. Come up with a sweet | |
1893 design and get in touch with me. The current site is at: | |
1894 http://www.marko.net/gaim | |
1895 | |
1896 Thanks much! | |

76 | 1899 0.9.14: |
104 | 1900 Well, there's a few random hacks and fixes in here, along with |
1901 a little suprise. You guessed it, kiddos, support for plugins! Happy | |
1902 hacking! | |
76 | 1903 |
56 | 1904 0.9.13: |
69 | 1905 Not much to say for this release. Bug fixes, That's all. Look |
1906 for the goodies I promised in 0.9.13 to appear in 0.9.14 which should be | |
1907 released very soon now. | |
56 | 1908 |
71 | 1909 By the way, our CVS is now hosted over at source forge. Go check |
1910 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting | |
1911 any bug reports (You can read our CVS comments to see if we have fixed any | |
1912 problems). | |
1913 | |
7 | 1914 0.9.12: |
25 | 1915 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
1916 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
1917 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
1918 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
1919 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
1920 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
1921 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
1922 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
1923 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |
1924 support will be in 0.9.13 which is due out soon. | |

1927 Jeramey got a new Comfy Chair! Its very very comfy! Whee! | |
1928 Jim also had a little hyper-drunken moment and started hacking away at | |

1929 a new configuration format for Gaim. Looks like we're running .gaimrc |
0 | 1930 version 1 now. Gotta love it. I got bored and hacked in a couple font |
1931 properties that will, in time, contain more features. That's about it | |
1932 for this version -- cept for that memory leak we fixed. Shush! We're | |
1933 not plumbers! -- rob | |
1934 | |
1935 ** Extra special update ** | |
1936 | |
1937 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California, | |
1938 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent | |
1939 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue | |
1940 development ont he prohect. Hopefully we wont have any more five month braks in | |
1941 the project. Sorry about that, guys :) | |
1942 | |
1943 0.9.10: | |
1944 Umm. Dont ask. Silly memory leak. For those of you who | |
1945 wondered, you were losing about 256 bytes every 25 seconds for each | |
1946 person you have on your contact list. Make fun of us. Better yet .. | |
1947 Send us beer. We'll do better :) | |
1948 | |
1949 0.9.9: | |
1950 Welp, All of you boys and girls who run Mandrake and have some | |

1951 problems with Gaim working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It |
0 | 1952 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for |
1953 you guys! | |
1954 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
1955 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
1956 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
1957 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
1958 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
1959 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
1960 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |
1961 | |
1962 0.9.8: | |
1963 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
1964 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
1965 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
1966 HTTP proxy support. | |
1967 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
1968 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
1969 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
1970 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
1971 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |

1972 Looks like the Gaim developers convention (cool name huh) that we |
0 | 1973 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh |
1974 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
1975 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
1976 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
1977 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
1978 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
1979 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
1980 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
1981 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
1982 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |
1983 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website. | |
1984 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you | |
1985 enjoy them! :). | |
1986 | |
1987 0.9.7: | |
1988 Well, boys and girls, it's that time again! Yup, time for the good | |
1989 release fairy to come bless us with her infinite wisdom and divine presence. | |
1990 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
1991 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
1992 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
1993 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
1994 gaim not wainting to correctly save your password if you have an underscore | |
1995 in it. Thanks to w1za7d for pointing out the underscore problem. ' and \ | |
1996 have also been fixed in passwords. :o) | |
1997 | |
1998 0.9.6: | |
1999 Sorry about the little segfaulting bugs in the past release. Rob | |
2000 is stupid. :). Anyways, they have been patched up and a couple new features | |
2001 have been added. I hope you guys enjoy. | |
2002 | |
2003 0.9.5: | |
2004 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
2005 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
2006 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
2007 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
2008 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
2009 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
2010 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |
2011 gotta love those pranks, eh? | |
2012 | |
2013 0.8.0: | |
2014 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
2015 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
2016 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
2017 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
2018 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
2019 want to get it out there. | |
